Yes, I'm using an Android phone for the month of June as part of the Mobile Nations World Tour, so
don't act all surprised if you see me tweet from an Android client.
Happy Father's Day to all the CrackBerry dads out there!! I have to give a special shout out to my pops who I didn't get a chance to see today (I ran in a half marathon and couldn't make the trip out of the city). He reads...

When Apple takes the stage to give a keynote, the tech world stops what it's doing to watch. Whether you love 'em or hate 'em, you can't ignore Apple as what they do impacts so many industries and soo many players. Computers, Mobile, Music and more.
Apple's World Wide Developer Conference keynote is about to kick off and our sibling site iMore is on hand to report back all the news as it...

Hair Strike! It's true, I'm growing out my hair until BlackBerry 10 is released. Hurry RIM!
So my plan was to write this post yesterday, but it turned out to be a Sunday of sports instead. I kicked off the morning with 13.5 mile jog (running the half in the Manitoba Marathon next Sunday), then took in the Italy - Spain matchup (EURO2012), then it was Formula 1 time with the Canadian Grand...

Since I watched the new round of BlackBerry ads I'm all about saying "BlackBerry People Do". Anytime anyone has questioned my BlackBerry use, my response has always been "it helps me get s@#t done". It's totally true and is still the best communication tool on the planet. Perhaps that's the reason that J. Crew CEO Millard "Mickey" Drexler chooses to use a BlackBerry Bold 9900. If you don't know...

Hello again dear readers. It's time to once again open up the mailbag and clear up any BlackBerry woes you may have. This week's question comes from one of Mark P and he writes:
Dear Berry,
I really love using the Remote Control application to control my PlayBook. I even used it once to control my MacBook Pro but after the first time of successfully connecting, I couldn't...

Last night, while covering the Apple Q2 results for iMore, I heard Tim Cook say something that I don't ever quite recall anyone from Apple ever saying before.
In response to a question about carrier subsidies on iPhones, and potential pressure, Cook said the following as part of his reply:
"Our engineering teams work extremely hard to be efficient with data and differently than some...

While Oracle is in a hefty battle against the likes of Google now, there was once a time when they had played with the idea of seeking to purchase RIM and even Palm to take on Google and Apple. As noted by Oracle Corp Chief Executive Larry Ellison, Oracle spent quite a bit of time weighing out their options only to ultimately decide that it was a bad idea.
An interesting situation to say...

My friend Hugo Miller, over at Bloomberg wrote this well-balanced article on RIM. The crux of the article is that RIM can't claim the top vendor status for smartphones in Canada anymore. According to IDC and Bloomberg data, Apple shipped 2.85 million units in Canada last year, while RIM shipped only 2.08 million units.
I have to admit that I love reading Hugo's articles because he's one of...

There's a quote in the book The Alchemist that I like which says "What happens once will never happen again. But what happens twice will surely happen a third time." In the case of CrackBerry's iOS-related sister site, we're now onto round number 4.
The site originally launched as PhoneDifferent.com in April 2007, just a few months after CrackBerry.com went live. That name was based on...

Before visiting Research In Motion's headquarters in Waterloo this past Wednesday afternoon to check out the BlackBerry Bold 9790, BlackBerry Curve 9380 and Porsche Design P'9981 from BlackBerry, that morning I attended the We Day festivities that we're taking place.
We Day and RIM: If you're not familiar with We Day, it's an initiative of the...
